Panel, but the mains transformer remains connected to the
supply mains.
Vibration Pad
Plug the vibration pad into its locking socket on the control
panel. Place the vibration pad under the pillow or mattress. It is
important that the person in the bed can feel the vibration -
check it is sufficient to wake a person by lying on the bed and
pressing the test button on the control panel - see also
"Testing your system". Some mattresses may not transmit
sufficient vibration and in these cases it should be fitted under
the pillow. Note: During testing, or in an actual alarm situation,
the pad pulses on and off for greater effect on sleepers.
Smoke Alarm
1. Choose the smoke alarm mounting position following the
siting instructions in the smoke alarm leaflet and screw it into
position.
2. Connect the red (remove the small piece of insulating tape
first), yellow blue and black wires from the control panel
to the terminals marked "R", "Y", "BL" and "BK" respectively,
as shown in figure 1.

2. Interconnecting Smoke Alarms
A maximum of eleven
smoke/heat alarms may be interconnected to the
EI
105CD Master Smoke Alarm. A maximum of 250 metres
(820 feet) of signal/alarm cable can be used, (maximum resis-
tance 50 ohm). Use only one Master Smoke Alarm per sys-
tem.
Warning: Do not connect these Master Smoke Alarms to
EI
any other type of
alarm, or to any other model produced by
another manufacturer. Doing this may damage the alarms and
could result in a shock or fire hazard.
When one alarm senses fire all interconnected units will
sound and the control panel will turn on the strobe light and vi-
bration pad. The wiring between the smoke alarms requires
three cores, two for power and one for interconnect, as shown
in figure 2. (Four core signal/alarm cable is suitable for this and
the wiring colours illustrated in figure 2 assume this is being
used). The master smoke alarm unit is connected to the con-
trol panel as described above. Then all the rest of the units be-
ing interconnected are wired to this master unit, as shown in
figure 2.
On the second unit cut off the battery snaps and connect the
battery wires to a two-way terminal block (not supplied). Con-
nect the red and black power leads from the master unit to the
other side of this terminal block. Connect the "BL" terminal
from the master unit to the number 1 terminal on the second
unit, using the blue core wire. Note the yellow wire from the
control panel only goes to the master unit - it is not connected
to any of the other units. Wire the third and subsequent units,
up to a maximum of twelve, in the same way.

3. Testing your System
After Installation
1. Plug in the control panel mains adaptor (or turn on the AC
mains if it is connected to a junction box). Slide the power
switch on the side of the control panel to the "on" position.
Check the continuous green light on the control panel cover is
visible. The red light behind the the test button on the smoke
alarm will flash every 40 seconds to show the unit is receiving
power.
2. Press the test button on the smoke alarm. The smoke
alarm should sound and the red light behind the button will
flash every second. After about 4 seconds the control panel
will turn on the strobe light and the vibration pad. Two people
may be needed for this test. Interconnected smoke alarms,
where present, must also be tested.
3. Press the control panel test button. Check the vibration
pad is on and that the strobe is flashing.
Daily & Weekly Testing
We recommend that you test your system weekly by press-
ing all the smoke alarm test buttons and checking that the vi-
bration pad and strobe light are operating. Also check at the
same time that the green power light is visible on the control
panel and that the red lights on all the smoke alarms flash ev-
ery 40 seconds.
Check daily that the vibration pad is in its correct position by
pressing the test button on the control panel.
Periodic Testing of Rechargeable Battery
The rechargeable battery takes about 20 hours to charge
from the control panel when it is first powered up. The panel
then maintains it in the fully charged state by continuous trickle
charge. In the event of a mains failure, the battery will power
the system, including up to 12 interconnected smoke alarms,
in standby for a week followed by at least 4 minutes alarm.
When the mains fails, the green light is extinguished and the
red light flashes rapidly on the control panel to indicate it is on
